You bet! - see my earlier posting re. Flight Unlimited 2 - I have the identical problem - I reinstalled 5 times - most other games work except Turok, Falcon 4.0 to date in 3dfx mode - I am seriously pissed off with repeatedly returning games to the store! - By the way your description of the problem could not be more accurate - that's great because it proves I was not making some stupid error!
